    (Veterinary Board) What is approved for CE in Nevada?

      Advisory Committee on Continuing Competency (ACCC)

      The Nevada Physical Therapy Board utilizes an Advisory Committee to evaluate continuing (education) competency courses, training, and related activities, based on Board-approved criteria. Continuing competency requirements for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants in the State of Nevada are contained in Nevada Administrative Code 640.

      Continuing Competency Definition

      Continuing competency in physical therapy is the lifelong process of maintaining and formally documenting competence through ongoing self-assessment, development, implementation of a personal learning plan, and subsequent reassessment. Continuing competence is intended to develop and increase knowledge, skills, and professional performance, while trying to prevent professional obsolescence by staying current with new developments in theory and practice and preventing skill and knowledge deterioration.

        Continuing Competency Requirements

        Each licensed physical therapist and physical therapist assistant is required to complete 15 hours of continuing competency within the year immediately preceding his or her application for renewal of a license. There are several options for licensees to satisfy their annual training requirements. Please review the Continuing Competency Model for details on how to successfully meet the minimum requirements for Certified Activities, Advanced Competency Activities, and Professional Activities.

        Licensee Course Submission

          If a licensee takes a course or seminar that has not been prior reviewed, they can submit the course for review by the ACCC via CeBroker. The course will then be reviewed for approval or denial.

            The requirements to be submitted include as follows:
            a. Course Description, Goals, and Objectives
            b. Hour-by-Hour Timeline (for ALL courses, regardless of length – please identify where breaks/meals are, these do not count when determining CCUs).
            c. Brief Biography of Instructor, no more than 500 words OR brief 2-page CV.
            d. Examination that accurately reflects the content and rigor of the course (required for any course that is not ENTIRELY on-site).
            e. Provide at least 5 references within the last 5 years reflecting the most current evidence-based research utilized to compile the course.
            f. Copy of the Certificate of Completion (with signature) - The certificate must contain the name of the provider and a descriptive/accurate course title (the name of the provider and course title should match what is on the application above)
